Retro Mini Handheld plays NES cartridges, brings tears of nostalgia to our eyes

Posted on 13 May 2009 by

We’ve seen scads of portable NES mods in the past but still: this is probably relevant to your interests. ThinkGeek’s got a new portable gaming system on offer, the Retro Mini Handheld. It plays all those 8-bit cartridges you’ve had stacked in your room next to your hi-fi since the olden days, and it’s got a pretty attractive look. Sure, the cartridge is essentially bigger than the handheld itself, but that’s part of its charm as far as we can tell. It’s got a 2.4-inch LCD and takes four AA batteries for about 8 hours of game time, and it’s available now for $49.99. There’s one more shot after the break.
